00:06:41.060 --> 00:06:43.959
Answer<00:06:41.180><c> because</c><00:06:41.420><c> he</c><00:06:41.560><c> was</c><00:06:41.839><c> to</c><00:06:42.019><c> be</c><00:06:42.160><c> David's</c><00:06:42.600><c> Lord,</c><00:06:43.079><c> because</c><00:06:43.680><c> the</c>

Holy<00:06:44.180><c> Spirit</c><00:06:44.480><c> came</c><00:06:44.740><c> upon</c><00:06:44.980><c> Mary</c><00:06:45.319><c> and</c>

that<00:06:45.740><c> holy</c><00:06:45.939><c> thing</c><00:06:46.160><c> that</c><00:06:46.259><c> was</c><00:06:46.519><c> born</c><00:06:46.699><c> of</c><00:06:46.920><c> her</c><00:06:47.199><c> was</c><00:06:47.620><c> called</c><00:06:48.079><c> the</c>

00:06:50.540 --> 00:06:52.600
So<00:06:50.680><c> already</c><00:06:50.920><c> we</c><00:06:51.060><c> have</c><00:06:51.160><c> the</c><00:06:51.300><c> Lord</c><00:06:51.500><c> Jesus</c><00:06:51.879><c> Christ</c><00:06:52.060><c> set</c><00:06:52.240><c> out</c><00:06:52.399><c> in</c>

00:23:36.599 --> 00:23:39.779
And<00:23:37.539><c> that</c><00:23:37.720><c> the</c><00:23:37.819><c> Lord</c><00:23:37.960><c> is</c><00:23:38.160><c> able</c><00:23:38.299><c> to</c><00:23:38.539><c> do</c><00:23:38.700><c> much</c><00:23:39.039><c> better</c><00:23:39.380><c> because</c>

00:23:39.779 --> 00:23:40.480
he<00:23:39.960><c> is</c><00:23:40.180><c> priest</c>

00:23:47.819 --> 00:23:50.039
The<00:23:47.900><c> writer</c><00:23:48.099><c> stresses</c><00:23:48.460><c> again</c><00:23:48.859><c> what</c><00:23:49.019><c> has</c><00:23:49.220><c> been</c><00:23:49.440><c> mentioned</c><00:23:49.660><c> before</c>

00:23:50.039 --> 00:23:51.720
and<00:23:50.160><c> what</c><00:23:50.299><c> will</c><00:23:50.559><c> be</c><00:23:50.599><c> mentioned</c><00:23:50.799><c> again</c><00:23:51.059><c> in</c><00:23:51.240><c> the</c><00:23:51.380><c> letter</c>

00:23:51.720 --> 00:23:54.839
whether<00:23:52.099><c> we</c><00:23:52.359><c> ourselves</c><00:23:52.640><c> are</c><00:23:52.759><c> able</c><00:23:52.960><c> to</c><00:23:53.420><c> repeat</c><00:23:53.640><c> it</c><00:23:53.819><c> or</c><00:23:54.000><c> not.</c>

00:23:54.859 --> 00:23:57.799
The<00:23:55.019><c> writer</c><00:23:55.160><c> mentions</c><00:23:55.500><c> once</c><00:23:55.880><c> more</c><00:23:56.039><c> that</c><00:23:56.220><c> there</c><00:23:56.420><c> was</c><00:23:56.640><c> no</c><00:23:56.920><c> perfection</c><00:23:57.480><c> by</c>

00:23:57.799 --> 00:23:59.079
the<00:23:57.940><c> Levitical</c><00:23:58.359><c> priesthood.</c>

00:23:59.559 --> 00:24:01.759
And<00:23:59.720><c> adds</c><00:23:59.859><c> very</c><00:24:00.220><c> reasonably</c><00:24:00.599><c> that</c><00:24:01.000><c> if</c><00:24:01.059><c> there</c><00:24:01.240><c> had</c><00:24:01.400><c> been</c><00:24:01.599><c> God</c>

00:24:01.759 --> 00:24:03.000
would<00:24:01.900><c> never</c><00:24:02.099><c> have</c><00:24:02.299><c> changed</c><00:24:02.579><c> it.</c>

00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:06.200
If<00:24:03.900><c> it</c><00:24:04.039><c> had</c><00:24:04.220><c> been</c><00:24:04.480><c> possible</c><00:24:04.839><c> to</c><00:24:05.039><c> reach</c><00:24:05.339><c> the</c><00:24:05.559><c> goal</c><00:24:05.759><c> through</c><00:24:06.019><c> the</c>

00:24:06.200 --> 00:24:07.319
priests<00:24:06.420><c> of</c><00:24:06.619><c> the</c><00:24:06.700><c> tribe</c><00:24:06.960><c> of</c><00:24:07.180><c> Aaron</c>

00:24:07.319 --> 00:24:09.500
then<00:24:07.900><c> that</c><00:24:08.259><c> goal</c><00:24:08.400><c> would</c><00:24:08.579><c> have</c><00:24:08.720><c> been</c><00:24:08.859><c> reached</c><00:24:09.140><c> through</c><00:24:09.319><c> them</c>

00:24:09.500 --> 00:24:11.720
and<00:24:09.599><c> God</c><00:24:09.779><c> would</c><00:24:09.940><c> never</c><00:24:10.180><c> have</c><00:24:10.380><c> invented</c><00:24:10.720><c> another.</c>

00:24:12.240 --> 00:24:13.900
But<00:24:12.420><c> it</c><00:24:12.579><c> wasn't.</c>

00:24:13.940 --> 00:24:16.359
We've<00:24:14.160><c> already</c><00:24:14.460><c> learned</c><00:24:14.720><c> in</c><00:24:14.980><c> part</c><00:24:15.200><c> why</c><00:24:15.420><c> it</c><00:24:15.579><c> wasn't.</c>

00:24:16.680 --> 00:24:20.319
We<00:24:16.819><c> will</c><00:24:17.180><c> briefly</c><00:24:17.539><c> review</c><00:24:18.140><c> now</c><00:24:18.779><c> why</c><00:24:19.279><c> in</c><00:24:19.539><c> other</c><00:24:19.779><c> respects</c><00:24:20.119><c> it</c>

00:24:20.319 --> 00:24:21.819
wasn't<00:24:20.700><c> too.</c>

00:24:22.359 --> 00:24:24.000
First,<00:24:22.799><c> those</c><00:24:23.039><c> priests</c><00:24:23.259><c> were</c><00:24:23.539><c> infirm.</c>

00:24:24.099 --> 00:24:25.599
They<00:24:24.140><c> were</c><00:24:24.380><c> the</c><00:24:24.559><c> sinners</c><00:24:24.740><c> on</c><00:24:24.920><c> their</c><00:24:25.079><c> own</c><00:24:25.279><c> account.</c>

00:24:25.779 --> 00:24:27.759
They<00:24:25.920><c> could</c><00:24:26.119><c> never</c><00:24:26.359><c> bring</c><00:24:26.599><c> in</c><00:24:26.839><c> perfection.</c>

00:24:28.539 --> 00:24:30.619
Second,<00:24:28.940><c> their</c><00:24:29.019><c> offerings</c><00:24:29.299><c> were</c><00:24:29.500><c> only</c><00:24:29.720><c> the</c><00:24:29.900><c> offerings</c><00:24:30.140><c> of</c><00:24:30.380><c> beasts</c>

00:24:30.619 --> 00:24:32.980
and<00:24:31.079><c> merely</c><00:24:31.299><c> to</c><00:24:31.500><c> offer</c><00:24:31.619><c> a</c><00:24:31.839><c> beast</c><00:24:31.980><c> did</c><00:24:32.200><c> nothing</c><00:24:32.440><c> to</c><00:24:32.619><c> make</c><00:24:32.740><c> the</c>

00:24:32.980 --> 00:24:33.980
conscience<00:24:33.359><c> perfect</c>

00:24:33.980 --> 00:24:36.579
which<00:24:34.359><c> is</c><00:24:34.519><c> brought</c><00:24:34.720><c> out</c><00:24:34.920><c> later.</c>

00:24:36.660 --> 00:24:39.640
Third,<00:24:37.559><c> the</c><00:24:37.720><c> priests</c><00:24:37.900><c> only</c><00:24:38.259><c> remained</c><00:24:38.539><c> priests</c><00:24:38.799><c> for</c><00:24:39.039><c> a</c><00:24:39.180><c> short</c><00:24:39.380><c> time</c>

00:24:39.640 --> 00:24:41.380
and<00:24:39.720><c> had</c><00:24:39.880><c> to</c><00:24:39.980><c> be</c><00:24:40.119><c> succeeded</c><00:24:40.400><c> by</c><00:24:40.619><c> other</c><00:24:40.859><c> priests.</c>

00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:44.299
So<00:24:41.920><c> they</c><00:24:42.099><c> never</c><00:24:42.380><c> achieved</c><00:24:42.700><c> their</c><00:24:42.960><c> objective</c><00:24:43.339><c> during</c><00:24:43.640><c> the</c><00:24:43.819><c> lifetime</c><00:24:44.079><c> of</c>

00:24:44.299 --> 00:24:45.880
any<00:24:44.480><c> one</c><00:24:44.640><c> of</c><00:24:44.799><c> them.</c>

00:24:46.440 --> 00:24:49.220
Fourth,<00:24:47.480><c> their</c><00:24:47.619><c> access</c><00:24:47.839><c> into</c><00:24:48.039><c> God's</c><00:24:48.480><c> presence</c><00:24:48.640><c> was</c><00:24:48.940><c> strictly</c>

00:24:49.220 --> 00:24:50.960
limited<00:24:49.599><c> and</c><00:24:49.839><c> controlled.</c>

00:24:51.200 --> 00:24:55.279
They<00:24:51.420><c> might</c><00:24:51.619><c> go</c><00:24:51.819><c> into</c><00:24:51.980><c> the</c><00:24:52.880><c> most</c><00:24:53.019><c> holy</c><00:24:53.299><c> place</c><00:24:53.579><c> once</c><00:24:54.140><c> a</c><00:24:54.319><c> year</c><00:24:54.480><c> only</c>

00:24:55.279 --> 00:24:57.779
and<00:24:55.880><c> then</c><00:24:56.019><c> only</c><00:24:56.220><c> for</c><00:24:56.420><c> a</c><00:24:56.480><c> short</c><00:24:56.700><c> time.</c>

00:24:58.180 --> 00:25:00.059
And<00:24:58.279><c> then</c><00:24:58.440><c> they</c><00:24:58.539><c> needed</c><00:24:58.720><c> to</c><00:24:58.880><c> do</c><00:24:58.920><c> it</c><00:24:59.079><c> again</c><00:24:59.299><c> next</c><00:24:59.640><c> year.</c>

00:25:00.059 --> 00:25:02.660
And<00:25:00.660><c> then</c><00:25:00.839><c> when</c><00:25:00.980><c> the</c><00:25:01.200><c> priest</c><00:25:01.339><c> had</c><00:25:01.559><c> died,</c><00:25:01.839><c> the</c><00:25:01.859><c> next</c><00:25:02.140><c> priest</c><00:25:02.339><c> must</c><00:25:02.519><c> do</c>

00:25:02.660 --> 00:25:03.819
the<00:25:02.859><c> same</c><00:25:03.079><c> thing.</c>

00:25:04.319 --> 00:25:07.599
And<00:25:04.400><c> the</c><00:25:04.539><c> writer</c><00:25:04.700><c> very</c><00:25:05.039><c> plainly</c><00:25:05.500><c> tells</c><00:25:05.680><c> us</c><00:25:05.920><c> that</c><00:25:06.299><c> in</c><00:25:06.740><c> those</c><00:25:07.119><c> sacrifices</c>

00:25:07.599 --> 00:25:10.779
there's<00:25:07.980><c> a</c><00:25:08.319><c> remembrance</c><00:25:08.819><c> made</c><00:25:09.160><c> of</c><00:25:09.359><c> sins</c><00:25:09.539><c> every</c><00:25:09.960><c> year.</c>

00:25:11.420 --> 00:25:13.900
It<00:25:11.519><c> is</c><00:25:11.680><c> as</c><00:25:11.859><c> though</c><00:25:11.859><c> to</c><00:25:12.039><c> say</c><00:25:12.440><c> you</c><00:25:13.000><c> are</c><00:25:13.240><c> taught</c><00:25:13.359><c> every</c><00:25:13.640><c> year</c><00:25:13.740><c> that</c>

00:25:13.900 --> 00:25:14.980
you<00:25:13.920><c> are</c><00:25:14.099><c> a</c><00:25:14.220><c> sinner.</c>

00:25:15.960 --> 00:25:18.619
Every<00:25:16.220><c> year</c><00:25:16.380><c> you</c><00:25:16.519><c> are</c><00:25:16.779><c> shown</c><00:25:17.079><c> a</c><00:25:17.480><c> glimpse</c><00:25:17.740><c> of</c><00:25:18.000><c> hope</c><00:25:18.160><c> that</c><00:25:18.380><c> one</c>

00:25:18.619 --> 00:25:19.700
day<00:25:18.759><c> this</c><00:25:18.839><c> will</c><00:25:19.019><c> be</c><00:25:19.180><c> dealt</c><00:25:19.380><c> with</c>

00:25:19.700 --> 00:25:22.259
when<00:25:19.920><c> the</c><00:25:20.099><c> priest</c><00:25:20.299><c> goes</c><00:25:20.579><c> for</c><00:25:20.740><c> an</c><00:25:20.960><c> instant</c><00:25:21.259><c> into</c><00:25:21.420><c> God's</c><00:25:21.900><c> presence</c><00:25:22.039><c> in</c><00:25:22.180><c> the</c>

00:25:22.259 --> 00:25:23.720
most<00:25:22.480><c> holy</c><00:25:22.720><c> place.</c>

00:25:23.980 --> 00:25:25.819
But<00:25:24.160><c> every</c><00:25:24.319><c> year</c><00:25:24.400><c> he</c><00:25:24.500><c> comes</c><00:25:24.720><c> out</c><00:25:24.920><c> again.</c>

00:25:26.039 --> 00:25:27.579

so<00:36:06.159><c> can</c><00:36:06.320><c> we</c><00:36:06.440><c> say,</c><00:36:06.960><c> Great</c><00:36:07.139><c> God</c><00:36:07.420><c> of</c><00:36:07.679><c> Abraham?</c>

00:36:08.599 --> 00:36:10.739
It<00:36:08.780><c> needs</c><00:36:08.880><c> a</c><00:36:09.000><c> little</c><00:36:09.159><c> bit</c><00:36:09.340><c> of</c><00:36:09.480><c> compression,</c><00:36:09.780><c> but</c><00:36:09.880><c> it's</c><00:36:10.079><c> the</c><00:36:10.219><c> right</c><00:36:10.440><c> way</c><00:36:10.599><c> to</c>

00:36:10.739 --> 00:36:11.599
say<00:36:10.920><c> it.</c>

00:36:12.099 --> 00:36:17.360
So,<00:36:12.500><c> Hymn</c><00:36:12.780><c> 250,</c><00:36:14.280><c> Great</c><00:36:14.480><c> God</c><00:36:14.679><c> of</c><00:36:14.860><c> Abraham,</c><00:36:16.000><c> hear</c><00:36:16.159><c> our</c><00:36:16.480><c> prayer.</c>

00:36:27.760 --> 00:36:35.260
Great<00:36:29.159><c> God</c><00:36:30.099><c> of</c><00:36:31.059><c> Abraham,</c><00:36:32.079><c> hear</c><00:36:33.300><c> our</c><00:36:34.059><c> prayer.</c>

00:36:35.860 --> 00:36:42.460
Let<00:36:36.539><c> Abraham</c><00:36:37.420><c> see</c><00:36:38.800><c> thy</c><00:36:39.559><c> mercy</c><00:36:41.260><c> shed.</c>

00:36:43.500 --> 00:36:50.019
O<00:36:44.019><c> may</c><00:36:44.599><c> they</c><00:36:45.119><c> now</c><00:36:46.239><c> at</c><00:36:46.900><c> length</c><00:36:47.880><c> return,</c>

00:36:50.019 --> 00:36:58.519
And<00:36:51.079><c> look</c><00:36:51.739><c> on</c><00:36:52.340><c> him</c><00:36:53.360><c> they</c><00:36:54.059><c> pierced</c><00:36:55.679><c> and</c><00:36:56.460><c> mourn.</c>

00:36:59.420 --> 00:37:06.420
Remember<00:37:00.320><c> Jacob's</c><00:37:02.940><c> flock</c><00:37:03.480><c> of</c><00:37:04.440><c> old,</c>

00:37:06.699 --> 00:37:13.380
Bring<00:37:06.980><c> home</c><00:37:07.599><c> thy</c><00:37:08.099><c> wonders</c><00:37:09.780><c> to</c><00:37:11.340><c> thy</c><00:37:12.059><c> fold.</c>

00:37:13.380 --> 00:37:21.900

00:37:31.179 --> 00:37:38.400
Though<00:37:31.900><c> outcast</c><00:37:32.800><c> and</c><00:37:33.139><c> still</c><00:37:33.920><c> estranged</c><00:37:35.940><c> from</c><00:37:36.719><c> thee,</c>

Lest<00:37:47.360><c> them</c><00:37:47.980><c> no</c><00:37:48.340><c> longer</c><00:37:50.139><c> such</c><00:37:51.539><c> remain,</c>

00:37:54.860 --> 00:38:02.320
O<00:37:55.219><c> thou</c><00:37:55.719><c> canst</c><00:37:56.340><c> graft</c><00:37:57.460><c> them</c><00:37:58.559><c> in</c><00:38:00.059><c> again.</c>

00:38:02.320 --> 00:38:10.820

00:38:43.860 --> 00:38:51.079
When<00:38:44.579><c> Jew</c><00:38:45.159><c> and</c><00:38:45.980><c> Greek</c><00:38:47.079><c> are</c><00:38:47.679><c> glorious</c><00:38:49.579><c> throng.</c>

One<00:38:52.340><c> house</c><00:38:52.940><c> shall</c><00:38:53.519><c> see,</c><00:38:54.960><c> one</c><00:38:55.559><c> prayer</c><00:38:56.659><c> shall</c><00:38:57.519><c> call,</c>

And<00:39:00.579><c> one</c><00:39:01.440><c> Redeemer</c><00:39:03.659><c> shall</c><00:39:05.900><c> adore.</c>

00:39:17.940 --> 00:39:21.260
Once<00:39:18.340><c> at</c><00:39:18.539><c> one</c><00:39:18.619><c> of</c><00:39:18.800><c> our</c><00:39:19.039><c> youth</c><00:39:19.239><c> weekends</c><00:39:19.599><c> at</c><00:39:19.880><c> Swanwick</c><00:39:20.219><c> in</c><00:39:20.360><c> England,</c>

00:39:21.480 --> 00:39:24.000
I<00:39:21.500><c> took</c><00:39:21.840><c> a</c><00:39:22.039><c> hymn</c><00:39:22.139><c> of</c><00:39:22.320><c> this</c><00:39:22.579><c> kind</c><00:39:22.800><c> and</c><00:39:23.019><c> invited</c><00:39:23.360><c> the</c><00:39:23.559><c> young</c><00:39:23.719><c> people</c><00:39:23.920><c> who</c>

were<00:39:24.239><c> present</c>

00:39:24.519 --> 00:39:27.219

00:39:28.719 --> 00:39:30.460
This<00:39:28.880><c> is</c><00:39:29.079><c> an</c><00:39:29.239><c> ideally</c><00:39:29.599><c> suited</c><00:39:29.800><c> hymn</c><00:39:29.940><c> for</c><00:39:30.099><c> the</c><00:39:30.239><c> purpose.</c>

00:39:34.860 --> 00:39:36.599
We've<00:39:35.139><c> certainly</c><00:39:35.420><c> met</c><00:39:35.619><c> Jeremiah</c><00:39:36.000><c> 31.</c>

00:39:36.599 --> 00:39:38.980

00:39:56.579 --> 00:39:59.460
You<00:39:56.739><c> notice</c><00:39:56.820><c> a</c><00:39:57.000><c> rather</c><00:39:57.199><c> striking</c><00:39:57.599><c> thing</c><00:39:57.860><c> that</c><00:39:58.179><c> appears</c><00:39:58.400><c> in</c><00:39:58.619><c> the</c><00:39:58.840><c> second</c><00:39:59.039><c> letter</c><00:39:59.239><c> to</c>
